The city of New York had strange
experience Sunday. Not saloon in the
city was open, and even the hotel bars
were closed. Restaurant keepers did
not even allow their customers sip on
the side. When such conditions can ex-
ist in a great city like New York, it does
not require much stretch of the imagina-
tion to anticipate in the near future
time and condition of affairs that will
make all days throughout the year all
over the country very much like last
Sunday was in New York. The Ameri-
can custom of drinking at public bars
is becoming unpopular in great many
sections and in few years it will be done
away with altogether. There will be
more home consumption and less carous-
ing in the future.

The connection made at Oakes be-
tween the Northwestern and Northern
ern Pacific roads ought to be convenient
for north and south travel, but it is not,
and a complaint has been made to the
railroad commissioners Of Dakota in re-
gard to it. A Jamestown dispatch says:
The train going south now leaves here at
$50 p M; arrives at Oakes l2:45 a. m.-no
hotel accommodations to speak Of-and no
connection with the Northwestern until 6
a. m. Returning from Oakes, the North
western arrives there from the south at
p. M; the alleged connecting train leaving
at 4:45 a. NJ, arriving at Jamestown at 8
O'Clock. 1t is claimed here that the North
ern Pacific have made every inducement
to the Northwestern to make favorable
connections that would be satisfactory to
a two hours change in the running time of
the Northwestern would enable through
passengers to make close connections with
out breaking rest. The Northern Pacific
proposed to divide sleeping car service
with the Northwestern or do anything else
that will help to allay public Indignation,
but so far the Northwestern has declined
to take action, or accede to anything. The
Northwestern has made point of adver-
Using this new route as "the great north
and south line through the territory
and making failure in running it to the
satisfaction Of the public. The Northern
Pacific is reported to have offered to
change its time, or do anything else rea-
sonable to accommodate the public, but the
Northwestern hiss refused in every in
stance to concede to anything of interest
to the patrons Of this rOad-at least this is
the current belief here. It is no use for
passengers to come here now expecting to
connect or get accommodations going

In speaking of General Rosser's recent
bad break, the Washington critic says:
General. Thomas L. Rosser, in his letter
denouncing 'Little Phil' Sheridan, the
ieutenant-general of the army of the
United States, says: 1T have forgiven
the brave man of the union army whom
[ met in honorable BATTLE" etc., which is
very kind, indeed, on the part of the ex-
confederate brigadier. It is only equal
ed in its spirit of generosity by the VIOLA
tor of law who forgives the court for en-
forcing the penalty. But setting aside
all prejudice in the matter, one way or
the other, General Rosser's card is in the
worst possible taste and out of keeping
with the amenities of the new age.
Were the same animus to pervade the
late contending sections of the union
generally, the country wouldn't be worth
living in" ....

The New York Times has been ex-
tremely friendly to Sparks right along,
but now there seems to have been an
eruption somewhere. The Times is not
only critical now, but savage. It says;
Mr.. Sparks has undoubtedly been an
honest aud useful officer, but his useful
ness would be greater if he were less
egotistical and had a better memory. If
he were not possessed with the idea that
the head of the land Office is carrying the
government upon his shoulders it would
be well. It would also be better if he
could avoid repeating one story to the
friendly visitors who call upon bim. But
he originally lacks the faculty of forget
ting his own story, and invali iably insists,
no matthr what subject may be introduced,
in going back great distance to make
return by circuitous and oratorical route.
He has apparently no concentration, and
no taste for brevity. 1t Is unfortunate, for
his "reminiscences are likely to obfuscate
and fatigue his listener, who goes away
forgetting the point he sought light upon,
and perhaps with half formed resolution
not to go again. No one ever tells the land
commissioner his faults, fearing the truth
may provoke his wrath.

IT HAS been stated that the recent
wreck at Sterling, on the Northern Pa
cific was caused by rotten ties. An inves-
tagation will prove this to be false. One
or two rotten ties could not have caused
this accident. No matter what has been
the cause of previous accidents on this
division, this one was caused by sun
knk, one of those kinds of accidents that
could not have been averted by any
amount of diligence on the part of the
railroad company, from president down
to section boss. The power of the sun in
the exponsion of iron and steel is some
thing wonderful. The expansion of one
rail crowds against another which, add
ing its own expansion, crowds onto an
other and 80 on. A straight piece of
track has been known to crawl along for
about a quarter of mile, which was
probably about the distance of the case
in question, when the resistance becomes
so great that the rail kinks like piece
of wire. The knk that caused the acci-
dent on the Northern Pacific was seen
by the engineer when only 200 or 300
feet away, but it was too late to stop the
train. There are great many accidents
on railroads caused by the gross careless
ness of officials and employees, but the
latest on the Northeun Pacific was not
one of that kind.

A MINNEAPOLIS Tribune Dakota cor
respondent has canvassed the subject
and finds as follows: :
AS week after week passes away the ter
ritorial papers continue to discuss the mat
ter of the publication of the session laws.
AS has always been the case in Dakota a
strange condition Of affairs presents itself.
Every law passed goes into effect 'from
and after its passage and approval" But
the laws are not published for months after
their passage and approval. Under the
workings of the territorial system the
United States government pays the ex-
pense of printing. But before the copy
can be given to the printer the secretary
must make copy of the laws and ascer-
tain how much matter there is; then he
must advertise several weeks for propos-
ais; then the contract must be approved by
the authorities at Washington; then the
printing is done, the book distributed and
put on the market. On the whole, it takes
four or five minths to do this, and still the
laws are in force.

The territorial institutions have been |

The territorial institutions have been
insured in the very strongest companies
in the world, through F. J. Calls Bis
marck agency-the largest in the terri
tory. The insurance was approved by
the governor and auditor after careful
investigation, and by insuring all the
buildings in "lump'' the territory saved
about $4,000 over rates that would have
been paid had each institution been in
sured separately. Yet few dyspeptic
editors in the territory are disposed to
feel unhappy about the matter, and the
Mitchell Republican thinks the buildings
ought not to have been insured at all.
If it pays the individual to insure, it GER
tainly will pay the commonwealth. The
territorial treasurer is now advertising
for sale good many thousand dollars
worth of bonds, issued for the rebuilding
of the Madison normal school, which
burned two years ago-which the insur-
ance companies ought and would have
rebuilt but for the shortsightedness of a
legislature that prohibited insurance of
public buildings. The taxpayers will have
to pay these bonds some day. It is bet
ter to pay premiums on insurance poll
cies and be safe than to run the risk of
seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars
go up in smoke, to be replaced, if at all,
by tax upon the present or mortgage
upon the future generation.

= In reply to recent attack "Farmer
Wallace writes the Mandan Pioneer as

follows: .-...
Dear Sir. Your Weekly of the 29th is
before me. AS in the many past years it
proves very readable interesting paper
and this edition is especially interesting by
reason Of a communication from "Bur-
leigh County Farmers wife," in which she
refers to farmer Wallace and the poor
farm. ST., ~ ...,-
Please for her information and the infor-
nation Of your readers, say that Farmer
Wallace is not and has never been the jan
itor of the poor farm, and that he has never
received from the county of Burleigh one
dollar for such service; that the janitor
employed by the county board, was paid
1926 per month, he to furnish his own fuel,
lights, bedding and board himself, also to
make fire break, cultivate the trees and
around the unoccupied buildings. The
whole time for which the said janitor
was paid was one year, amounting to only
$500, instead of, as she states, ST. 200. Last
fall. disliking the lonely task of watching
these premises, ne gave up the place, and is
now with you on the west side in Morton
county. ..' .-. =
Again, your lady contributor is mistaken
in regard to the price paid for the farm. 1t
was bought after advertising for lowest
bidders, and found the best and lowest
price Of twenty-three offers, and that at
the time when the boom was at its height.
She also speaks of the cost of keeping the
poor in Burleigh county. 1t is true the
amount appears large, but it should be re-
membered that the past two years have
brought many to want, and it is to the
credit of Burleigh. county that all who
have applied for aid or who were known
to be in want have been relieved at their
homes instead of forcing them to abandon
their homes or farms to 90 to the poor
farm. If the county board have been ex.
travagant in the way of charity, thank
them for it, and invoke Gods blessing on
all who do likewise
